[This is a simplified version of the message sent to every package maintainer that ships TTF/OTF/Type1 fonts in Fedora.]
Our font packaging guidelines have now changed. New font package submissions must now be adapted to the new templates available in the fontpackages-devel
package:
– http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/fontpackages
– http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Simple_fonts_spec_template
– http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fonts_spec_template_for_multiple_fonts
It is preferred to create a font package or subpackage per font family, though
it is not currently a hard guidelines requirement.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/Font_package_splitting_rules_(2008-12-21)
has been submitted for FPC and FESCO approval today.
The new templates should make the creation of font packages easy and safe.
The following packages have already been converted by their packager in fedora-devel and can serve as examples:
❄ abyssinica-fonts
❄ andika-fonts
❄ apanov-heuristica-fonts
❄ bitstream-vera-fonts
❄ charis-fonts
❄ dejavu-fonts
❄ ecolier-court-fonts
❄ edrip-fonts
❄ gfs-ambrosia-fonts
❄ gfs-artemisia-fonts
❄ gfs-baskerville-fonts
❄ gfs-bodoni-classic-fonts
❄ gfs-bodoni-fonts
❄ gfs-complutum-fonts
❄ gfs-didot-classic-fonts
❄ gfs-didot-fonts
❄ gfs-eustace-fonts
❄ gfs-fleischman-fonts
❄ gfs-garaldus-fonts
❄ gfs-gazis-fonts
❄ gfs-jackson-fonts
❄ gfs-neohellenic-fonts
❄ gfs-nicefore-fonts
❄ gfs-olga-fonts
❄ gfs-porson-fonts
❄ gfs-solomos-fonts
❄ gfs-theokritos-fonts
❄ nafees-web-naskh-fonts
❄ stix-fonts
❄ yanone-kaffeesatz-fonts
The new spec templates have been designed to be easy to update to from the previous guidelines, and to remove complexity from font packages. To help new package creation the fontpackages-devel package has been made available in Fedora 9 and 10.
If you have any remaining questions about the new guidelines please ask them
